Chapter 332: 328. Shock and Wariness (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

Ling Hua took a deep look at Zhang Ran. Although he had mentally prepared himself, he was still somewhat disappointed to see Zhang Ran refuse such a partnership so resolutely.

"Let's return to the normal topic. When the number of registered game users reaches thirty million, you must hand over Dingdang Net," Zhang Ran said.

Ling Hua also shifted his focus back, "Wasn't it agreed upon as one hundred million registered users before?"

"Yes, I did say one hundred million registered users, but that requires time, and I don't have that much time to wait."

"When the registered game users reach thirty million, you must hand over Dingdang Net, though I can spend a bit more money on my end.

When the registered game users reach one hundred million, you will need to return the extra money, plus interest," Zhang Ran said.

Ling Hua nodded; he had no objections to this point, as Zhang Ran could not possibly wait for them too long on this matter.

However, one could also see Zhang Ran's confidence in this game from this!

Ling Hua became increasingly curious about what kind of game it actually was!

Zhang Ran continued, "Also, in order for you to adapt to the game's promotion and become familiar with the professional league as soon as possible, 'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' can now cooperate with you as well, but for 'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds', Biaoxue Company needs to take the lead."

Upon hearing this, Ling Hua suddenly laughed, "Mr. Zhang, it's meaningless for you to say that. The benefits for us would be far less than the benefits for Biaoxue Company, right?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the game 'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' has already hit a bottleneck, and it needs new channels to open up this market.

And we at Weiteng are the best partners for that."

"You are wrong; you at Weiteng are just one of them," Zhang Ran did not deny Ling Hua's words.

Indeed, because the scale of Biaoxue Company was truly too small, it could not unleash the true potential of the game 'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds'.

Even though Zhang Ran had done so much in the early stages, limited by the scale of Biaoxue Company and the ability of Sicheng, development had slowed down significantly.

It was necessary to bring in outside help!

Ling Hua smiled. Although what Zhang Ran said earlier was a bit evasive, it could be considered the truth.

If they could participate in the 'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' professional league, it would be of great help to the games they needed to cooperate on next.

Moreover, Ling Hua also thought of another point.

"Mr. Zhang really spares no effort in cultivating your son," Ling Hua pointed out Zhang Ran's true purpose in one sentence.

Sicheng looked at Ling Hua with some confusion; what did this have to do with him?

Zhang Ran's expression was calm; he knew that Ling Hua was not talking about this, but rather wanted other benefits.

Just as Ling Hua said, the reason Zhang Ran wanted to do this was primarily to train Sicheng.

After all, Sicheng had lived a relatively frugal life since childhood. Although he had changed a lot over the past half-year, he was still somewhat lacking in vision and other commercial aspects.

Especially in terms of vision, he was still far from meeting Zhang Ran's requirements.

Therefore, Zhang Ran thought about using this opportunity to forcibly raise Sicheng's vision to a certain level, and this aspect required help from Weiteng.

Sicheng was still a bit small-minded in this regard.

Zhang Ran said, "The current season of 'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' is also coming to an end, and I plan to hold a grand final. At that time, you at Weiteng can participate."

Just as Ling Hua was about to say something, he heard Zhang Ran say calmly, "I said before that the final will be conducted with reality and the game synchronized.

In other words, the real world will also be conducting a true 'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' match, with military helicopters and real military training guns, and it will be broadcast live. I believe that as long as it is operated correctly, you at Weiteng will gain great benefits."

Once Zhang Ran said this, everyone present was instantly dumbfounded. Playing it this big?

Ling Hua also swallowed and said, "Mr. Zhang, isn't that going too far?"

Zhang Ran said speechlessly, "Where are your minds going? It's a competition, not murder; they are training guns, not real bullets."

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief; they had indeed been startled just now.

"The country wouldn't allow such a competition, would it? And the venue and the helicopters..." Ling Hua's eyes flickered as he spoke.

Zhang Ran said, "Who said it was in our country? The location for this final is set in Russia. I have already contacted them, and everything will be done according to requirements.

And you can rest assured regarding safety; there will absolutely be no problems."

These words from Zhang Ran made the eyes of the people from Weiteng start to flicker. If it were really as Zhang Ran said, then if they were allowed to operate it, the benefits they could gain would be immense.

One could imagine how many people's attention it would attract if this were true; the traffic alone would be enough to make them tempted.

Moreover, they had their own video platform, which could attract another wave of users at that time; such benefits were significant.

Ling Hua also understood that this was the benefit Zhang Ran was offering, all to ensure they would fully support Sicheng's 'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' project next.

At this moment, Ling Hua suddenly thought of one thing: Zhang Ran had already let Biaoxue Company promote this before, but it had just never been implemented.

Many people didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was the same as the outdoor competitions that were popular now.

And since Zhang Ran just said that Russia was already prepared, did that mean Zhang Ran had already considered all of this beforehand?

Thinking of this, Ling Hua could not help but take another deep look at Zhang Ran. He discovered that the person in front of him was not just thinking three steps ahead.

Was Zhang Ran's cooperation with them this time really just for Fengli Group and to keep them from participating in the competition for the online shopping market?

Originally, Ling Hua also knew that this was bait Zhang Ran had thrown out—one was a short-term visible benefit, the other a long-term uncertain benefit.

Now, Ling Hua was thinking much more!

This made him even more shocked and wary!

However, it was clear that no matter what, Zhang Ran had already achieved his goal, because Ling Hua knew that they actually had no other choice.

Zhang Ran had considered everything. Even if he did not agree, the board of directors would agree, because the conditions Zhang Ran offered were truly ones they could not bear to refuse.

From this moment on, they had reached a cooperation agreement, and the next step was to discuss the details.

However, Zhang Ran and Ling Hua did not need to talk about these things; they were left to professional teams to negotiate.
